Beautiful People Series #2

I chose to draw Chris and Dana Reeve, just because. Because. Yes. That's my answer. What they were able to accomplish in their lifetimes is remarkable. I remember seeing Chris's portrayal of Superman when I was a boy and that has stuck with me for years. We were all saddened when the news of his accident spread around the world. But, instead of letting his misfortune get the better of him, he moved on. He moved forward. With his wife Dana by his side, they formed The Christopher and Dana Reeve foundation to help raise money for research in paralysis.

I thought I was never going to finish this one. *wipes forehead* Those of you that might have seen my first posting of this on my Deviantart site, might notice some changes. Originally, Chris's pupils were much larger and very unbecoming of him. I thought I was close to completion at that point, but after changing his eyes, I just kept going. A week later, here it is, finished. I honestly could spend hours more on Dana's hair, but I need to limit myself and move on to other things.

Have a great weekend.
